Tyva Kyzy (Daughters of Tuva) will present a special Shagaa (Tuvan New Year!) celebration performance on Friday February 16th in Long Beach, CA.
These one of a kind musicians are the only all-female Tuvan folk ensemble in the world that perform the extraordinary art of throat-singing. The Republic of Tuva is located in extreme southern Siberia, and has been claimed by both China and the USSR simultaneously. Their distinctive music brings female harmonic vocal techniques together with the exhilarating and evocative sounds of throat-singing and traditional Tuvan instruments which imitate the sounds of nature. Their vividly textured songs fill audiences with energy and emotion and bring to life the traditions, stories and sonic landscapes of Tuva with humorous joy, nurturing sweetness and thundering power! Tyva Kyzy brings a breath of fresh air to the overtone rich melodies and natural rhythms of today’s Tuvan music; bringing a vital update to the vast and sacred culture of the Tuvan people and their intimate relationship with this earth and its sprit. Please support this wonderful group! and enjoy and evening of celebration and honoring prayer through music.
